Paradoxes of Leadership and Management in Higher Education in Times of Change: Some Australian Reflections.

Blackmore, Jill; Sachs, Judyth

International Journal of Leadership in Education, v3 n1 p1-16 Jan-Mar 2000

During 1995-97, 50 interviews disclosed paradoxes shaping Australian women college administrators' work: women are doing more, but less valued work; academics are intellectual/managerial workers; quality is stressed despite fewer resources; work relations are collegial, while rewards are individual; and women offer new leadership, but are institutionally powerless. (Contains 18 references.) (MLH)
